Very good news. Too bad it isn't called Lot 49 The Jazz Butcher - Lot 49

That's ok. Mayfield Heights is about to lose a large state agency shortly.

^I wonder what, if any, impact the current configuration of the casino will have on Tower City cinemas and, more importantly, what the future configuration will. Because, if you are not aware, the Cleveland International Film Festival starts March 22. http://www.clevelandfilm.org/

"Tour shows construction progress inside new Cleveland Horseshoe Casino (Feb. 21, 2012)" http://www.newsnet5.com/gallery/news/news_photo_gallery/tour-shows-construction-progress-inside-new-cleveland-horseshoe-casino-feb-21-2012#ixzz1n2Dl3Ej4 I wonder if Crayola ever considered making a crayon color called Cleveland brown

"weave it into the existing fabric of downtown." (source?) How is this NOT weaving? Its all rather subjective at best

Was just thinking of getting some sushi today, too. Since that is right by the PM job, I think I 'll get some before I go in. Anybody ever order from there before?

Chagrin and Warrensville Center = approximately 20,000 vehicles a day Prospect and Ontario = approximately 6,000 vehicles a day I doubt the number will triple (source: NOACA)

I sure hope the competition with Earthfare brings down the prices . Good news for all of us.

And Cleveland.com with the confirmation (as if my word weren't good enough) Cleveland's casino will be first to open in Ohio, on May 14 http://www.cleveland.com/open/index.ssf/2012/02/cleveland_casino_will_open_fir.html

The Ohio Casino Control Commission has stated the Horseshoe Casino will open May 14

Me either - THANKS!

There sure are a lot of cars parked at the Powerhouse

Seeing Diamond Jim's Steak House is bittersweet. When they took two of the stacks down at the Canal Road plant, I always though of it as a middle finger firmly extended to the world

I sure hope so. This small slice of Euclid Avenue is always so depressing to drive/walk past

I wonder if the scientists are sad

I recall Snyder of first Interstate (or somebody associated with him) stating they were trying to get one located in Steelyards a few years back.

Hopefully this time next month we will be ready to announce another significant "acquisition." Albeit, this will be a local move from village to a city (with the villages blessing). And only about a quarter in size

heheh "Of Lincoln's acquisition of Techalloy and the state's support of its expansion, Kasich said: "Any time I can bring jobs home from a foreign country, it's exciting. And I consider Maryland a foreign country." "
